Finding Jane's flowers

It is 155 years since the Duff children - Isaac, Jane, and Frank - were lost in the bush at Nurcoung.
The Library is commemorating the anniversary in a number of ways.

Firstly it has organised a further batch of the 'Lost in the bush' DVD. Copies of this DVD, of the 1970s film, quickly ran out after the 150th celebrations, and these DVDs will be the last produced.

Secondly the Library has produced a booklet "Lost in the bush : day by day" which as the title suggests is a day by day account of what happened on each of the 9 days.

And finally the Library is conducting a special event "Finding Jane;'s flowers : the role of plants in the 'Lost in the bush' story". Locals will show and talk about some of the plants endemic to the area, plants the children would have encountered. The talk will also discuss life and stories of the bush around the Nurcoung district.
"Finding Jane's flowers" will be held at the Goroke Library, 30 Main St Goroke on Thursday 15th August at 2:00pm, and will include afternoon tea. There will be copies of the DVD and booklet available for sale. The event is free and bookings are essential. Go to the library's website and follow the "Finding Jane's flowers" link.
